Chapter 8
Daniel after getting all the basic layout of the city was thinking about what possible actions he could take to survive this hazard with the least casualty possible.
Knowing the old man as he did, He would have left some hidden troubles for him and have let this simulation be as close to reality as possible to create trouble for him.
'That old coots always likes to create trouble for me. I think he gets a kick out of all the misery he let me go through.' Daniel thought about his principal Roger.
Principal Roger is the current principal of the Hunter school and has been one even when his grandfather was at his age. He is the oldest of all the people in the city.
No one knows how old he currently is except that he is the strongest and he shouldn't be angered or messed with.
There was once a genius from the capitol Dawn. He messed with the principal and disrespected him but the principal being mildly natured didn't bother with him and laughed it off.
But the people behind him weren't so good. That genius was caught for some non-legal dealing and all his past deeds which were hidden and no one bothered about them due to his talent were all brought out.
After that, he was put into trial and his GE was completely destroyed and he was punished with hard labor.
It is rumored that he was worked to death as he was made to pull tons of metals around for smelting them. They were used to create various items for the mech, machines, hoverjet and other things.
He was left to be buried in some ditch.
Whether it is true or not, no one knows but everyone believed that the principal should not be angered. He has remained unmoved from his position for years. Governing body changed over time but he was unchanged always looking over the city and protecting the city from unknown threats.
" So are you ready for the test?" The operator asked.
He collected his thoughts and once again went through all the information for the city topography along with all the possible monster who might be a participant in this riot. He said," You can begin at any time."
Then please lie down in the cabin and ready yourself for transfer.
He did as asked. He laid down on his personal cabin which was always available to him as long as he doesn't exceed the 10 hours per week limit set by the principal for himself.
After entering the cabin, he put on his headgear and then closed the door. Soon the voice of operator came," the time frame of the exam is 1 hour is equal to 7 days. Your exam duration is 2 days."
" But this is different from what the test data said. "
"..." The other side was quiet and didn't answer but an older and familiar voice came," If you didn't interrogate the operator there wouldn't be any change. But since you did so I modified the test even more.
You will face some unexpected situation the whole time. You will have to deal with both internal and external problems and also prepare your city for the surprise attack of monsters.
Your scout would only find it six hours before the start of the attacks so you better be prepared and not depend on Intel about the outside.
And you are smart enough to know what type of monsters could participate in this rampage. since the test is modified so you can attack too but only once. But that one moment you can burst out with the power of spirit king.
Don't trample on my hopes for you, Daniel." After that, the conscience of Daniel blurred and he suddenly finds himself seated in a room surrounded by files and documents around him.
He looked around to see himself in a big room with himself seated at the main chair with tables and chairs in front for others. The room was richly decorated with his trophies and medals placed just behind him.
He rose from his chair and headed for the big window at the room. Through the window, he can see the entire city. There are various hover cars and trucks flying through the sky with people walking at the footpath below.
He can even see the park situated at the center of the city with many kids playing around and their guardian relaxing there while keeping an eye on their wards.
There are multiple construction works and repair works taking place throughout the city. All in all, it seemed like a happy and prosperous city which didn't have a single point of sorrow.
But this is too unrealistic to have a completely sorrow free place. After he stressed his eyes he can see the slums.
Barely clothed people roam around with a face full of hunger. They even have kids with a similar expression. They were begging for food but were thrashed around or frightened away by the people.
Seeing this, Daniel just sighed and thought,' That old coot really like to make things troublesome for me. He even made it close to reality and even have slums.
This meant that there would be hidden problems such as traitors, cowards and even power greedy people too may be present. And I have to deal with them first and also make sure that the city can be preserved.'
He grumbled," Bastard old man. He really likes to make people go senile and want people similar to themselves as a companion. Probably that's why he keeps sending me those troubling things."
Unknown to Daniel, his words were heard by three people who observed his test. The operator just sweatdrops at the words while in the principal's office, a burst of loud laughter rang which belonged to Lance.
" Hahahaha haha…that brat really called you senile to your face and without even knowing you heard him." Lance said loudly.
" This boy is really interesting, isn't he? Even when he is facing big trouble he still manages to curse and badmouth me. "
" Old man why did you give him such a tough task? To deal with social inequality and let them help each other to survive. Then the politics of city government has to be solved and he needs to have complete command over their actions.
Then solve the monster riot with complete strength disparity. Isn't it too much. Even if you gave him 14 days to solve the problem it is still a problem.
I think you don't want him to win this battle. It is an impossible task, isn't it? " Lance looked at him curiously.
" Yes, I don't want him to win. After all his sharp mind is his greatest weapon and with his continuous victory with his cleverness, he isn't learning anything. So I hope he loses this and learns that there is a world much bigger than what he could compute."
"And if he wins?"
" Then it means even I have underestimated his potential and he can really shine as brightly as the sun itself in the near future. " Principal ended while looking forward to his performance.
